Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth

I've just read that an enormous cobalt blue cockeral by German artist Katharina Fritsch has been chosen as the sculpture for Trafalgar Square's Fourth Plinth Commission. It was unveiled this morning/ afternoon by London's Lord Mayor Boris Johnson. I think it's very striking, don't you? I love the blue contrasted against the grey stonework of the monuments and buildings of Trafalgar Square. You can watch a video of the unveiling here.
